War, unlike what many say, is a good thing. While we may not enjoy the death, carnage and damage it creates, War has several important functions.
First, war tests individuals and nations. Without war, conflicting ideas could not compete for supremacy. Moronic ideologies and belief systems of fools would continue, sapping the intellectual strength of humanity. War is the arena that ideologies compete, each pittinhg their strngths against each other for supremacy. May I remind you that it was war, allthough a "Cold War", that defeated the pie-in-the-sky ideology of Communism? I warn those who wish to adopt this ideology of weaklings here in America.
War is fought on many fronts. In the shadows, the soldiers of many factions conspire, using means both overt and covert to bring down other opponets. This is healthy. Only those possessing a crafy mind, capable of strategy and subversion will prevail. This winnowing process removes those who are unablke or incapable of creating secret organizations with the resources to destroy their ideological opponent.
Politics is war as well. Mao, the former Chairman of Communist China had this to say "War is politics with bloodshed; Politics is war without bloodshed". Mao properly understood that politics is the same as any military campaing or subversive organizations. It is right and proper that the Democrats seek the destruction of the Republicans through the ballot, and that the Republicans seek the same. Hitler and Stalin understood this well, as does the ruler of North Korea. Unfortunately, the idealists in America often loose sight of the true nature of politics.
War is not to be feared. Many will die, but as long as the human race continues to exist, the lossess can be absorbed. The only war that is unfruitful is nuclear war. But outside of nuclear war, we can know that even if we do not ourselves survive, that if we have taught our children to be cunning, devious, oppurtunistic and strong they shall survive us.
In the last estimates, none of us shall survive. All we can hope is that we will die with glory, taking our enemies with us. If one can take at least five of their enemies into the embrace of Death, then that is a life that has been well spent. For if we must die, we can at least do all we can to see to it that it is not only our families that wail with grief, but that they are joined by the families of the enemies we have slain.

Well if you go out in the street and ask everyone you meet if they´d like to go to war, a bet they´d say no. Unless they are mentally ill. So if the majority of people don´t want war, why should there be war.
The Weapons industry, struggle for world domination by those in the power, keeping the population down.?

One solution for war would to make a rule, that any politician who wants to declare war, has to go on the front line and fire the first shots. Then there´d be no more wars.

Sigh..war is necessary since, when the rubber meets the road, it is the meeting place of ideology.

Communism lost to Capitalism and Fascism to Democracy.

Also, war is not only fighting with guns. War is the will to power, and as such is expressed in politics, economics, religion, the media, e.t.c

The weak minded, who love dream worlds can not understand reality. The reality is that as long as the will to power exists, so will war. This is a necessary and good thing-competition is natures way of selecting the strong and true over the weak and lies.
